1 ,Be it known thatl, EPRA H. RYON, a citizen of the Un'ited-`States, "residing at Worcester, in l the lcounty of ',Wor'cester and 'Statie' of 'Mas'sachusetts, have invented certain new and .use-

ful Improvements Vin Take-Up Mechanism'for N arrow-Ware Looms, of which the following is ,a Specification. 'f I j Myf'nvention relates to a takeup mechan- IQ ismor narrow-ware looms or looms for weaving ribbon, tape, &c., and is particularly adapted to be used'on 'double4deck narrowware'looms to wind the two ribbons or tapes on separateg spools arranged one over the I5 other.'y "f a -l The obiectofmy invention is to improve upon the construction of the take-up or Winding mechanism of, narrow-ware looms as or dinarily made an'dfto" provide a take-up or 2O winding mechanism-'of simple constructionin which two ribbons or tapes 'are' wound'upon two separate spools simultaneously, one spool Vbeing'located.overthe other.v

' inventionconsists in certain novel fea-u,

tures'ofconstruction of my improvements, as

will be hereinafter fully described.

Referringto the drawings, Figurel 1 Yis a front view of ai tale-up'and'lwinding ,mechan-j ism embodying my improvements .looking in the' direction ofarrow d, Fig. -2; and Fig. 2 is a section on line 2 2', Fig. 1, looking in the direction of arrow same ligure. In-theaccompanying drawings, 1 represents the loom sides or frames;l 2, the breast-beam.

The two-strands of woven tape or yribbon 3 and 3' pass under the take-updrum 4, fast on the rotary shaft 5, journaled. in bearings on the frames 1, and then up between said drum 4 and the roll 6 and over said roll, which bears on the drum 4 and is mounted inthe frame 7, which is pivotally supported bystuds 7', extending loosely into open-end recesses inthe brackets v10, secured upon the under side of the Vbreast-beam 2. (See Fig. 2.)

` From the roll 6 the tapes 3 and 3'-pass'over the 'two' tapes and 3' separate, and one, as 3," passes through a slot near. the attached end of a guidefinger 14 and then through a second 50 slot near the freev end of said linger 14l onto the rotary spool 15,'upon which the tape 3 is' wound'. The other tape, 3', passes from the roll 12 through a slot near the attached end., of guide-finger 14' and then through a sec- 55 ond slot nearj the free end of said finger 14l onto the spool 15', upon'which the tape3' is. wound.. A "The upper rotary spool 15, ,upon which the A tape 3 is wound, is Idetachably mounted in the 60 y vends of a frame 16, provided with hubs pivlotally supported on a rod 17, and said spool 15 islocated above and is in engagement with the rotary roll 12. The lower rotary spool 15' yis ldetac'hably lmounted in the ends of a,65 frame 16', provided with hubs pivotally supported on the rod 17, and said spool 15 Vis Vlo-Y cated below the rotary roll .12, and is heldin,`

frictional contact therewith byaspring 18, -.attached at one' end to the frame' 16` and at 70 s the other end to the frame 16.

(See Fig. 2.) The hubs of the pivoted `frames 16 and 16' are held in proper positionon the rod 17 by collars 19, provided with set-screws 19'. f The upper guide-finger 1.4, lwhich extends 75 Vover the upper spool 15,'is.in this instance.

attached bya screw 2O to a fork-shaped hubr 21, loosely mounted on a rod 22. The lower. guide-finger 14', which extends below the lower spool 15', is attached by ascrew 20' to a hub .80

21', loosely mounted on the rod 22. The col.-

- lars 2,3., provided with set-screws 23', hold they drives a gear 26, mounted on a stud 27 and l attached to a pinion 28, which meshes with a gear 2 9, fast on the shaft 5 of the drum 4.

The drum 4 revolves with said shaft and also a second gear 30, fast on said shaft. The gear 30 meshes with and drives a gear 31, fast on `the shaft 13 of the roll 12, and through the rotation of said gear 31 rotary motion is communicated to the shaft 13 and the roll 12. The rotation of the roll 12 communicates rotary motion to the spools 15 and 15, which are in engagementl with said roll 12, to Vwind the tapes 3 and 3 thereon. A pinion 32, fast on the shaft 13, engages a gear 33, loose on a stud 34, and the gear 33 engages a gear 35, loose on a stud 36 and connected with a cam 37, having a cam-groove 37 therein. In the groove 37 of the cam 37 a roll 38 on a lever 38 eX- tends and travels. The lever 38 `is centrally pivoted at 39 on a stand 40 and is connected by a link 41 with a hub 42, fast on the rod 22, which has a longitudinal reciprocating motion. The revolutionl of the driven shaft 24, through pinion 25, gear 26, pinion 28, gear 29, gearl 30, and gear 31, communicates rotary motion to the roll 12 and through said roll to the wind-up spools 15 and 15', and lat the same time, through pinion 32, gear 33, l

gear 35, cam 37, lever 38, link 41, and hub 42, a longitudinal reciprocating motion is communicated to the rod 22, carrying the guidengers 14 and 14', to cause said fingers to have a traverse or reciprocatingmotion to guide the tapes 3 and 3 onto the spools 15 and 15. I have only shown in the drawings one 'set of spools 15 and 15' and guide-fingers 14 and 14; but it will be understood that there will bea series of them extending across the loom,

and the rotary movement of all of the spools and -the transverse movement of all of the guide-fingers will be governed by the gearing and thewormmechanism above described and shown in the drawings.

VIt will be understood that the details of construction of my improvements may be varied,

if desired.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a take-up mechanism for narrow-ware looms, the combination of a rotary shaft, a roll fast thereon, a rod, two oppositely-extending frames pivotally mounted on said rod, a l winding-spool carried by each of said oppoi sitely-extending frames and having peripheral driving bearing on opposite portions of said roll, and traverse means operating simultaneously with said spools for laying thc fabric thereon.

2. In a take-up mechanism for narrow-ware looms the combination of a rotary shaft, a roll fast thereon, a rod, two oppositely-extending frames pivotally mounted on said rod, a winding-spool carried by each of said oppositely-extending frames and having peripheral driving bearing on opposite portions of said roll, a spring connecting the spool-carrying frames, and traverse means operating simultaneously with said spools for laying the fabric thereon.

3. In a take-up mechanism for narrow-ware looms, the combination of a rotary shaft, a roll fast thereon, two rods disposed adjacent to said shaft, two oppositely-extending frames pivotally mounted on one of said rods and i carrying winding-spools disposed on opposite sides of said roll, guide-fingers mounted on the other of said rods and disposed to deliver fabric to said spools, and means for impartinga traverse motion to'said guide-fingers to lay the i fabric spirally on the spools.

4. In a take-.up mechanism of a narrow-ware loom, the. combination with a take-up drum,

a rod, two frames pivotally mounted thereon and two Winding-spools carried thereby, arranged one over and in line with the other, and an intermediate rotary roll over which the two woven tapes pass prior to being wound 1 on the spools, said rotary roll being also in frictional engagement with the two winding l spools,and two guidefingers,one for each tape, and 1n contact with the winding-spools, and

means for communicating a traverse or reciprocating motion to said guide-fingers, of means f for operating said drum, rotary roll,and guldefingers, comprisinga driven pinion, meshing with and driving a gear on a take-up-drum 1 shaft, and asecond gear on said take-up-drum shaft, meshing with and driving a gear fast on the shaft of the rotary roll, a pinion fast on said shaft meshing-with and drlvlng a gear loose on a stud, and said gear meshing with and driving a gear loose on a shaft, and connected with a cam which operates the guidefingers, through intermediate mechanism, sub- I stantially as shown and described.
